Tiny Paint Brings Simple and Efficient Drawing to Your Device

At some point in time, each one of us has probably attempted to draw something. Whether it’s doodling in a notebook, spray painting on a wall or making fine strokes on a canvas, we’ve all enjoyed it. And why not? The notion of creating something beautiful from nothing evokes a sense of pride in us and often pushes us to excel. Despite the widespread love for drawing, time hasn’t been very kind to it. In the digital age, rarely does one ever tend to sit down with a piece of paper and just draw or paint for hours on end, whether for lack of inclination or lack of time.

With an increased focus on technology, people spend long hours of the day on smartphones and tablets, and XDA Senior Member sylsau has used this as a base for Tiny Paint, a simple and efficient app that allows you to draw on your device. While there are more than a few similar drawing apps available on Android, Tiny Paint combines simplicity and efficiency with the end result being an app that is significantly powerful with features such blurring and embossing, yet delivers itself in an easy-to-use interface. Basically, Tiny Paint is simple enough to let you use it in your spare time, but good enough to keep you hooked.

The Note 4 never had the fastest Recents Menu, and despite its 3GB of RAM, its app-holding capabilities only got worse on Lollipop. The infamous RAM bug that plagued the S6 is indeed an annoyance on the Note 4's 5.0.X ROMs. Rumors of an update to fix all of this were confirmed with the first reports of the 5.1.1 update for the Russian Note 4, which seemingly improved the Recents Menu and RAM management. But it'll be a long time...
